Atlético Nacional come into 2 April 2026 with a perfect home record in Liga DIMAYOR, Apertura: six wins from six, 18 goals scored and only two conceded. That home split matters most for a home-win call, especially against a Cúcuta Deportivo side that have taken just three points from seven away matches and are still winless on the road.
The visitors have also struggled to turn away games into results, with no away wins, three draws and four defeats, plus 15 goals conceded in those seven trips. Their recent 1-0 win over Boyacá Chicó came with a red card to the opponent and a late missed penalty, which is not the sort of performance that inspires much confidence away from home.
Atlético Nacional’s overall league numbers are equally strong, with 10 wins from 13 and a 28-10 goal difference, while Cúcuta sit 17th with only two league wins and a 19-27 record. The most recent meeting between these sides finished 3-0 to Atlético Nacional, and the bigger historical edge also leans their way with four wins in the last five head-to-heads.
There is a small tension with the projected 2-1 scoreline, because Cúcuta have scored in enough of their recent away games to suggest they can land a goal. Even so, Atlético Nacional’s home dominance, Cúcuta’s away drought and the clear gap in league positions all point to the hosts having the stronger overall grip on this fixture.
My prediction is Home Win at 33/100. Atlético Nacional have won all six league games at home, Cúcuta Deportivo are still without an away win, and the visitors have already conceded 15 times on the road. The head-to-head record also favours the hosts, including a 3-0 win in the most recent meeting.
